Handmade Oriental Moshwani Kilim Rug 200x160

Moshwani rugs are handwoven tribal rugs crafted by the Moshwani people, a subgroup of the Baloch ethnic group in western Afghanistan. These rugs are known for their unique weaving techniques, striking geometric designs, and a mix of pile and flat-weave (kilim) elements, making them distinct from other Afghan rugs.

Key Features of Moshwani Rugs:

Material & Weaving Style

• Made from high-quality hand-spun wool
• Unique combination of pile weave (knotted wool) and flat-weave (kilim) sections, creating a textured, multi-dimensional surface.
• Often woven using the Turkoman or asymmetrical knot, ensuring durability.
• Rich, earthy tones dominate Moshwani rugs, including:
• The colors are achieved using natural vegetable dyes, giving them a warm, organic look.

Design & Patterns

• Bold geometric motifs
  • Diamond or lozenge shapes
  • Intricate borders with repeating patterns
• The blend of pile and kilim weaving creates a textured, slightly raised effect, adding depth to the design.
• Their durability makes them ideal for high-traffic areas like entrances and hallways.
